One week ago today we mentioned that Former Dallas City Plan Commissioner-turned-immigration activist Ralph Isenberg has taken up the cause of Saad Nabeel, who came to the U.S. with his parents when he was 3, graduated from Frisco's Liberty High School, got a scholarship to the University of Texas at Arlington -- only to find himself deported by the U.S. government to Dhaka, Bangladesh, after his parents were denied political asylum and refused to leave.
